since the update, my rank has dropped from 49 to 55 instantly, and then during these few days from 55 to 58. and i put ALL my DMU from income into growth of CER (and a bit into production). I'm still far behind, and falling behind.... This means a lot of people are getting a huge advantage over me, and even when i ascend in a few days, the extra APP might only (although i doubt it) give me ability to reach the CER of others that are passing me in rank. but by then, they will have "a bit" more planets and i won't be able to catch up.... Since there's a 14-day limit between ascensions, by the time i'm able to ascend again, i will fall even more behind.
hmmm, i wonder why i think this update royally screwed me
and i'm not the only one. a friend of mine who ascended a day after the update, to get the extra APP (since he only got 100k as well), of course, passed me in CER, income and army size. but is still falling behind some other people who were quite weaker before?! that really sux
and i can say this 800k APP to everyone (or almost everyone?) made little or no difference at all
Its kinda hard to see how ive been "screwed over" because im still quite big. relativly, im majorly screwed over though..
if everyone needs to ascend it will mix it up more on main and ascension which is good for everyone... it might balance the prices on the SGW market
